Water pressure regulator maintenance and repair

Maintenance

1. To ensure stable operation of the water pressure regulator, it is recommended to perform a monthly check of pressure setting, response speed, and pressure holding accuracy. The regulator's operation can be checked by changing the water flow rate passing through it and gradually closing the shut-off valve installed on the same pipeline, while monitoring the pressure deviation at the impulse extraction point.

2. To ensure uninterrupted operation of the system, the impulse extraction line should be cleaned once every six months. To do this, it is necessary to disconnect the section on which the pressure regulator is installed, drain the water, blow out the impulse line before disconnecting it from the regulator and pipeline.

3. It is recommended to clean the mesh filter installed before the pressure regulator as needed. The degree of filter contamination should be evaluated based on the readings of the gauges installed before and after the filter, comparing the actual pressure drop on the filter with the pressure drop on the clean filter.

Repair

Repair of the water pressure regulator may be required if pressure deviations at the impulse extraction point are detected during operation or maintenance.

Possible malfunctions may include various defects such as damage to sealing elements, the regulator mechanism, and the spring. In case of malfunctions that require repair, a thorough diagnosis is necessary to determine the appropriate measures to eliminate the malfunction.
